Where Jesus meets glow
Category: toys
I may be wrong but I think this is the first time I have seen a children's vending machine catering to a religious group. It seems like a great way to reduce your profits. Either that's the case other they just refilled because it was full to the top. In case you want one they are at Wegman's on Amherst. Alterniately, you could just buy the 250ct refill for the vending machine for $48.00. I never realized what a huge markup this stuff has.

Hey, that seems a swell accessory for rave parties. :)

Micorosoft Search Perks for Live Search
Category: web
Microsoft is so desperate for people to use their Live Search search engine that they started offering reward points for using it I thought, okay I will give it a try just to see. I mean you get free books, magazines, music, etc.

Then when I got there to sign up I was stopped with this.

Well, fuck you micorosft, I won't use it afterall. Who tries to beg people to use their stuff and then makes it at all restricted or difficult. They really need to learn this lesson. If you want your search engine reward points to draw the most people, make it work from any browser.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Adventure
Category: movies
I really enjoyed this movie. For a brief moment it made me feel like I had friends and some spontaneous adventure going on.

It was also one of the first movies I saw that had gay characters I could identify with.

They did such a good job capturing the first night of meeting someone too.

I am so jealous! I want to see this movie so bad but don't think i can go until wednesday! GRR!

I admit that I'm not really a fan of the romantic Comedies unless they are the kind with nudity and are in that other kind of comedy like the American Pie films, that being said this movie is one of a bunch (not sure if they are currently out anymore) that I want(ed) to see.
tinypliny - 10/05/08 11:08
I need to see this movie. I am a sucker for music-woveb romantic comedies :)

The Cornish Game Hens Before
Category: food
I patched some more wall spots today. I am getting really good at here. Before the latest patch I dissected some more layers of wallpaper and found the original. I thought the one in (e:paul,45920) was the original. I was wrong. It is so damn ugly.

image

The best solution would be to tear out the wall paper and re-plaster or dry wall, but that is not happening anytime soon. You can't just take the wall paper off like you can with drywall, because the wall paper is holding the plaster, horder hair and lathe all together in some parts. Anyone who has seen the ~30 foot stair well knows that would be a job for professionals. So until that day happens I patch and paint which looks fine.

After the wall patching I decided that I wanted to make some cornish game hens. I got these anti-biotic, hormone, steroid-free ones at wegmans - two for $8. As part of my trying to save for the new era of disparity I have decided to return to eating the organ meets, accept for the liver. As (e:matthew) put it - I cannot eat what I feel is the equivalent of eating the brita filter after it is done filtering.

I used some Roswemary from the garden, some garlic and paprika. Then i wasn't sure what to stuff in them because (e:matthew) cannot eating any sort of gluten based stuffing. So I looked aorund the yard, and saw I still have a lot of pears. In went the pears.

image

I am so excited to eat the neck. I know its weird but serioulsy they taste so good. I am obessed with turkey necks too.

Here are the hens done.
image

(e:Terry) is so picky that he refused to eat the pear because they had been "in the chicken" while baking. When I met him he wouldn't even eat anything with bones.

I am watching a cooking show now with a norwegian carror farmer/chef who is obsessed with his carrots. he said if you cut them tenderly they will be juicy like the lips of a juicy woman. I wonder what that sounded like before he translated it in his head, lol.

you remember Bob? he hates turkey, but loves the turkey neck. several thanksgivings I would cook a big turkey, and bob would say "I want the neck honey"
gardenmama - 10/04/08 16:47
Wow - looks delish! When I cook turkey, I ususally use the meat from the turkey neck in the gravey - it's good.

(I feel like (e:tinypliny) with the back to back comments) I wonder if that would be a cool place to hang out and take pictures of people as they enter the party from?
metalpeter - 10/04/08 11:58
(e:tinypliny) you have seen that part it just looked a lot different that is where the downstairs bathroom was. If you didn't know it was there you could never tell that it was a bathroom at some point. I haven't seen it finished before in the picture it looks really nice.

I am not sure I have seen this area of the mansion before... Hmmm
gardenmama - 10/03/08 17:59
Looks beautiful!
